Proceeding contribution from Karen Buck (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Greater London Authority Bill.

Greater London Authority Bill

I say good. Well-performing authorities have nothing to fear and everything to gain from being located in a broader strategic context. I throw this question back at the hon. Gentleman. What would he say to Londoners in or concerned about the 18 London authorities that are performing below the average, yet which have no obvious incentive to improve their performance under the current arrangements or the Government’s proposals? We all have a stake in London’s improvement, whether we are concerned about it from a value-for-money or an environmental perspective.
